Despite the low excessive drinking rate, there are many places in the Parkersburg-Vienna area to buy alcohol. There are 214 bars and restaurants per 100,000 people for residents to buy alcohol, greater than the national concentration of 184 bars and restaurants per 100,000 people.

Some 11.9% of adults in Morristown, Tennessee, drink excessively. The state of Tennessee has some of the more restrictive liquor laws in the country. It is illegal to sell wine in the state on Sundays, and grocery stores only recently gained the ability to sell wine at all.

Those restrictive alcohol sales laws may be one of the reasons why Tennessee’s metro areas are some of the driest in the country. Of the 20 cities with the lowest excessive drinking rates, six are in the Volunteer State.

Logan, Utah, was founded by a group of Mormon settlers in the mid-1800s. Today, a strong majority of city residents identify as Mormon, a religion that teaches its followers to avoid alcohol consumption.

Just 11.6% of adults in the metro area either binge or heavily drink, below the 13.4% statewide excessive drinking rate and the 18.0% nationwide rate.

Residents’ drinking habits are reflected in the number of drinking establishments in the metro area. There are only 123 bars and restaurants for every 100,000 Logan residents, one of the smallest ratios of any U.S. metro area.
